You’re probably wondering what’s with me? Why am I being so frequent on the Blog? Well, it’s because now I’ve really felt the positive energy to blog everyday and hence, you’ll get to see many new Reviews up on the blog.

Due to the cold weather my hands have been feeling so dry . I love lavender smells and I was so tempted to try Crabtree & Evelyn since it open stores in Kolkata . But somehow I always skipped it when I went to the stores. I have finally got my hands on the Crabtree & Evelyn lavender hand Care Collection Ultra Moisturising Hand Therapy, in some places mentioned as Crabtree and Evelyn hand Therapy Collection Lavender Hand Therapy and it’s up for review today on the blog. I got confused by the name as I saw different names online . Don’t know if I am mistaking but on the Crabtree & Evelyn website the name is ‘Crabtree & Evelyn lavender hand Care Collection Ultra Moisturising Hand Therapy‘ , which is part of their Age Defying Hand Remedy Range and the one I received.

The packaging of the Crabtree & Evelyn lavender hand Care Collection Ultra Moisturising Hand Therapy is quite simple and travel friendly. These hand creams come in Metal tubes with a simple screw on white cap. The only disadvantage these hand creams have is that the tube gets damaged when you squueze it , but that is not a disadvantage actually (I simply love the packaging ). The hand Cream’s packaging is sturdy , you can easily keep this in your handbag , the cap is tight enough to keep itself from opening up.

These hand creams are available in different sizes, and I got the 25gm one. The Crabtree & Evelyn Lavender Hand Care Collection Ultra Moisturising Hand Therapy 25 gm pack costs 495 INR, you can also get a 50 gm pack for Rs 895 and a 100 gm pack for Rs 1495 . These are available online at Nykaa and amazon too. Your can buy the 25gm pack of Crabtree & Evelyn Lavender Hand Care Collection Ultra Moisturising Hand Therapy in india from Amazon by clicking on the following affiliated link Crabtree & Evelyn Lavender Hand Therapy, 25g .

Usually these hand creams are not on discounts but I got this one from Nykaa for Rs 371 , which was really a good deal .

Crabtree & Evelyn hand creams were on my wishlist since a few months but I always seem to be more inclined towards makeup than skincare. I finally got it from nykaa during their sale in February. The first thing you notice is the beautiful packaging , though I find the lid/ cap a bit too small since I have to extra careful that it does not slip off and get stuck under my Wardrobe .

The hand cream is White in color with a very subtle smell. The formula is a bit watery and seeps into the skin as soon as you start massaging it. Post application, there is no greasy feeling which is the most important plus point for me. I asked a few of my firends to say what they felt about the smell and some of them said , it reminded them of LUX lavender soap . Whereas my Dad said he has used a shaving cream with a similar fragrance (Errr. .Shaving Cream .. I hope not !! ) .

The smell is very nice and relaxing. I love applying this before going to bed and I get a very faint smell when I wake up . Without much activity (Read -Washing hands, typing, applying anything over this cream) this hand cream can provide moisture for about 4 to 5 hours. After which my hands start to feel dry and I reapply.

The best way to use this hand Cream is to apply it before going to bed or just after you take your shower . This small pack is very travel friendly and you can easily carry it everywhere for reapplication. I have combination skin and my hands do feel dry sometimes, this year I’ve also felt a bit of itchiness due to the excessive use of Hand wash . I use it before going to bed and I find my hands moisturised in the morning. I’ve also kept my hand gloves on for a few days and it gives an even better result.

After using this for two weeks I can definitely say that this is a very mild hand cream with a very soothing smell and can be useful for ladies with dry hands. If you have excessively dry hands you might want to try a more moisturising formula.

Price is a bit high as Rs 500 for 25gm hand cream seems steep but I feel you can get good deals online so keep checking for more discounts. Since the formula is free of Parabens and mineral oil it is worth the price.

Final Words :

I was applying olive oil to my skin because it was feeling too dry and after I’ve used this hand cream I’ve not had the need to apply olive oil . My hands feel sof and they do not feel dry . Though it’s best to keep applying it two to three times a day. For dry skinned ladies, who have very dry hands, this might be too mild for you. But do check it at the counter. I’ve seen my hands look healthier after regular use so you can definitely give this a try .

I love the fact that this hand cream does not contin any parabens , and instead has shea butter, peptides, Vitamin C and E and more- which means goodness for the skin without harsh chemicals.

If you’re crazy about hand Creams like my dear Sushmita di , then these are a really great find . I would suggest this hand cream for every woman who needs additional moisturisation for their hands. If you need more reasons to try these hand creams go to the nearby counter and try them yourself, I believe you won’t regret going .
